Life Quotes

As I was leaving the facility where I volunteer, the florist delivered cut flowers and since I carry my coolpix in my pocket today's post was born

Life is like a hot bath. It feels good while you’re in it, but the longer you stay in, the more wrinkled you get.

Life is like an onion: You peel it off one layer at a time, and sometimes you weep.

Love the moment. Flowers grow out of dark moments. Therefore, each moment is vital. It affects the whole. Life is a succession of such moments and to live each, is to succeed.

For, lo, the winter is past, the rain is over and gone; The flowers appear on the earth; the time of the singing of birds is come, and the voice of the turtle is heard in our land; The fig tree putteth forth her green figs, and the vines with the tender grape, give a good smell. Arise, my love, my fair one, and come away. Source: Song of Solomon (ch. II, v. 11-12)

Oh wow...who got the flowers! I want to work where you do. Seriously, I love the smell of flowers. My sister owned a mortuary up in Idaho until she died and I would go up there and help with oddjobs sometimes. I love it. There were always flowers there and they always smelled so wonderful. I hope Heaven is like that. :)

"Flowers grow out of dark moments- each moment is vital.."-so true huh! Enjoyed your quotes and these flowers! I looked outside and noticed so many new flowers blossoming this past week! Anyway, these are pretty.(I left a comment late last night- so terrific to have your prospectiv)e- thank you!

I LOVE this insightful post!! That blue and yellow flower is so stunning, it seems like an Iris, but isn't shaped quite right. And how I just ADORE the quote about flowers having to start in the dark! These quotes are the best!! Sisters again! I took pics of flowers I found in church Wednesday night. Planning to post them. I, also, put many pieces of bubble gum in my mouth (only Double Bubble, my fave at the time) and I blew huge head sized bubbles. I may try again, hope it doesn't work out as badly as the Hula Hoop!!
